Ultimate Fighting Championship officials on Monday announced
the strawweight matchup, set to take place Dec. 12 at MGM Grand
Garden Arena in Las Vegas. UFC 194 is topped by a featherweight
title unification bout between longtime champ Jose Aldo and
interim titlist Conor
McGregor.

Torres, 26, boasts an official record of 6-0, though she was
defeated by Randa
Markos and Carla
Esparza in exhibition bouts during the 20th season of “The
Ultimate Fighter.” Since then, the “Tiny Tornado” has won a pair of
bouts inside the Octagon, earning unanimous decisions over
castmates Angela Hill
and Angela
Magana.

Waterson, 29, won six straight bouts between 2010 and 2014 before
losing her Invicta atomweight title to underdog Herica
Tiburcio in December. The “Karate Hottie” made her UFC debut at
July’s “TUF 21” finale, where she submitted Magana via third-round
rear-naked choke.
